Sun, 01 May 2011 23:23:59 +0000http://www.tvline.com/?p=210907#comment-82434Honestly, Alexis should’ve won. She’s spicy and fierce. Raja always looks like a man in woman’s clothing. And it should’ve been a lypsync between alexis and raja and I’m sure alexis would’ve won. but yeah it does seem like manila gave up completely and I expected a different reaction from Raja’s win, I think it was rigged I think she knew she was going to win. And I love Raja’s personality so much, but I don’t think she should’ve won. I think there was fiercer queens than her. idk maybe Ru picked Raja cause he’s attracted to him. Whatever. Totally unhappy with the results. But I can honestly say Raja was the most original when it came to make up and costumes, but it would’ve looked better on a different queen.

If these queens are the “next great drag star” then why aren’t they on DragU? Because they don’t have enough personality! Oh wait, Ru’s trying to prove that Tyra’s winning wasn’t a total joke so she’ll be on the next season of DragU… no doubt boring all viewers. I’ll watch DragU, but I’m done with RuPaul’s Clothes Hanger Race.

Fri, 29 Apr 2011 04:28:52 +0000http://www.tvline.com/?p=210907#comment-82432START YOUR ENGINES: So much to say about the 3rd Season of RuPaul’s Drag Race! Most people would say the Raja shouldn’t have won, and I might agree on a number of points…but…standardizing drag is plain boring. And niceties aside, she spiced it up quite a bit. The rants between Raja and the hysterically comic Shangela were sorta priceless on ‘Untucked’.

The queens that seemed a bit not-ready-for-prime-time this year were most definitely: Delta Work, Phoenix, India Ferrah, Stacy Layne Matthews and Venus D-Lite. For me, if I was a preliminary judge they would have been ruled out before the show got on the road. The others were all advanced and interesting, with talent and nerve galore. I found Mariah to be the most ravishing, Shangela the most talented…but of the final three most consistent was definitely Manila. I was rooting for Alexis, however. Mainly because she seemed most “above it all” and the most effectively personable. Yara Sophia was really interesting and added the strange factor and Mimi Imfurst, a bit sloppy, brought an excellent amount of kitch factor. Raja, in the end, walked the walk and talked the talk (albeit in a very bass voice). Drag is like a wild spindly tree that has many branches. It was hardest for me to watch the depth of cat-calling backstabbing bitches in the Interior Illusions Lounge – especially Delta Work (who’d be much better suited for John Waters type territory). Carmen Carrera was an interesting wild card – she brought a sexy Jersey girl thang, it was well suited for this.

SUGGESTIONS FOR SEASON 4:

– Bring back some of the previous contestants as either regular or guest judges;

– Don’t put ‘plus size girls’ on the show unless they are polished – and there are aplenty;

– Bring is some powerhouse judges (Cyndi Lauper, Lady Gaga, John Waters, Greg Louganis, Kylie Minogue, Vera Wang, so many…)and spend a lil more time on their comments…if they are there chatting for an hour – give us some of their feedback so we know what determinations they are making (Santino and Billy B are blah, and though Mike Ruiz is hot – not a good judge, Michelle Visage gives real criticism – a keeper!);

– Add a ‘den mother’ element to this. Sometimes it seems the contestants (most are young enough to wander) could use a lil more coaching, more scenes of Ry as ‘Mom’.

That’s all. ;) TJ

Fri, 29 Apr 2011 01:01:26 +0000http://www.tvline.com/?p=210907#comment-82431I am appalled at who won this contest! How can Raja who has known Rupaul for DECADES,worked with Mike Ruiz and Mathieu Anderson,and also Vanessa Williams,be a legitimated contestant! That is a conflict of interest that is HUGE! It is a farce…Raja was no great shakes as a drag queen,what a joke! No Feminine illusion,and a personality straight out of Hades,what a vile bully! And Raja can NOT entertain whatsover! No way he was the best! I think Manilla should have won. But for the endorser of Boogars and Heathers to be the winner is absurd! Tyra and Bebe were GREAT drag Queens in comparison and worthy winners….Raja is pisspoor!

Thu, 28 Apr 2011 06:34:40 +0000http://www.tvline.com/?p=210907#comment-82430Rupaul has proven himself to be fake time and time again. He chooses these winners that don’t really sparkle at all. Where is Bebe and Tyra? No one really wants to see them. We want to see the fun bag which has Manila, Jujube,Ongina, Raven and all the other excellent Queens. Drag Race is becoming like American Idol, most aren’t interested in the winners. It’s the runner ups that go on to become big stars. I love Manila Luzon and feel she’s the real queen.
I think the show was bogus once again and Ru had already decided to pick Sutan/Raja because of her connections to Tyra Banks. Networking is a huge aspect to this industry and I’m sure Ru didn’t want to step on anyone’s toes. Also Ru is getting pretty up there in age and needs a really great make up artist like Sutan to help her out. She’s just manipulative, fake and a bad judge if you ask me.

It should be very obvious why she is the queen of drag I love her fashion taste her runway and creativity. I believe she gives the correct description of what drag is about, beyond the usual camp queen look we are so accustomed to.

Wed, 27 Apr 2011 06:11:52 +0000http://www.tvline.com/?p=210907#comment-82428Thank you! This sums up perfectly this show’s fatal flaw.
I love watching RPDR, but the ‘Drag Superstars’ chosen thus far are simply not people I would pay to see perform. A queen in the greatest dress ever, with flawless makeup, walking a runway gorgeously gets boring awfully quickly without humour!

Tue, 26 Apr 2011 18:37:03 +0000http://www.tvline.com/?p=210907#comment-82427You know, I don’t care if RuPaul sewed Raja under her loin and birthed her in the mists of Ancient Greece. The reality is that Raja is the most forward-thinking, developed, and worthy successor to the crown.

The top three was the correct top three, but Alexis is too mired in a single tradition, while Manila is still developing her style.

And, if Raja was the designated winner of this season (something I do not believe in the slightest), RuPaul certainly didn’t make it easy on her. If they truly are such good friends, then RP had to know that casting Shangela would push Raja’s buttons, and keeping her on the show beyond all reason drove Raja up the wall.

This season was longer, fiercer, and harder on the queens than previous two. It was a trial by fire for everyone, and not everyone made it to the finish. The ones that did were the strong ones. Whether or not Ru had a favorite from the beginning, the truth is that Raja blew everyone but Alexis and Manila away because she’s just that strong.

And then she won because, out of the three on that stage, she had the most to offer.

Tue, 26 Apr 2011 18:36:20 +0000http://www.tvline.com/?p=210907#comment-82426Here’s why Alexis shouldn’t have won: she is old-fashioned drag that you don’t see much in better drag establishments any more. She never understood the criticisms given to her, and didn’t know how to take them and incorporate them to become better. It was always the same ole, same ole. No growth instinct at all. She’s an antique. Raja, on the other hand, whether she has comedic ability or not, is a fashion conscious, edgy drag queen who injected vitality into an otherwise predictable event. I’m delighted she won. And had Manila won, I would have been okay with it, but not as pleased. And we know that BOTH of them will go far and far outshine any of the others that vied for the crown.
